Aidan Gallagher was born on September 18th, 2003. This makes him the youngest of The Umbrella Academy’s main cast members. He was just 14 years old when he was cast as Five Hargreeves in the much-anticipated Netflix show.
Aidan Gallagher’s father is a businessman, while it’s unknown what his mother does. Despite having humble beginnings in Los Angeles, though, he’s built his acting career in America.
Now, the young man is worth $2 million. Much of this can be attributed to his starring role on the popular Netflix series. More than 45 million households watched the first series of The Umbrella Academy when it was released in 2019. This made it one of Netflix’s most popular original shows of the year.
Aidan Gallagher’s Career
Eagle-eyed fans will recognize Aidan Gallagher from an episode of Modern Family. In season four episode 18, Aidan Gallagher plays one of Lily’s school friends who is bullied.
This was Aidan Gallagher’s first credited role on TV. Shortly after that, he picked up the main role in the Nickelodeon show Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. In the show, Aidan played Nicky Harper.
Despite barely being a teen, this role catapulted Aidan Gallagher to stardom. He also found a legion of fans and was nominated for Favorite Male TV Star at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in 2016 and 2017.
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn only ran for four seasons, though, and in 2018 Aidan Gallagher was looking for a new role.

Kevin Jamal Woods: Where is the Actor Now?
I’m sure Aidan Gallagher was thrilled when he was cast in The Umbrella Academy – but it was a tricky role to fill, especially with his children’s TV acting experience. He plays an elderly man who is trapped in the body of a 13-year-old, so Aidan had to pull his acting tricks out to accurately convey Five Hargreeves.
However, there was one thing he did in his audition for the role that immediately attracted the attention of the showrunners.
Aidan submitted a tape for his audition for the role of Five Hargreeves, and showrunner Steve Blackman said that as soon as he saw it, he knew they’d found the right person for the role.
Steve Blackman said: “We’d gone everywhere. We had gone to the U.K., Australia, Canada, America. And this tape pops on and the kid looks at the camera and goes, ‘I will kill for this role.’ That was Aiden. And he was great.”
Umbrella Academy Season Three?
After two seasons of the critically-acclaimed Netflix show, what can we expect from season three of The Umbrella Academy?
Filming has wrapped on season three, which Aidan Gallagher confirmed on his Instagram in August last year. He posted a video of the cast and crew letting fans know that season 3 was on its way.
He captioned the video: “That’s a wrap on season 3 of the Umbrella Academy!!! Thanks to an amazing cast and crew and of course the fans who got this show made!”
